Review

This is a four-part serial, first broadcast between 5th and 26th October 1988. A brief and somewhat spoiler-ish summary of the plot: the seventh Doctor and Ace travel back to London in 1963 where they find two Dalek factions competing for possession of the hand of Omega, an ancient weapon left there by the first Doctor. They join Group Captain Gilmore and his men in a bid to save the earth and the universe.
